The ent key is used to enter a PIN code and to accept
screen information.
The esc key is used to cancel or exit from the current
operation.
NOTE: Users cannot view or access options for which
they are not authorised.
How to get in and out of Engineer Mode
Entry to Engineer Mode is authorised by a user in menu
option 48 = Engineer Access. Following this, the
engineer will have 5 minutes in which to enter his code.
When the engineer code is entered three things happen:
• All system tampers become isolated.
• The engineer is given access to the full menu.
• The banner message is changed to indicate Engineer
Mode.
To bring the system back out of Engineer Mode and
reinstate all the tampers, from the banner, the engineer
enters his code, but then presses the esc key rather than the
ent key.
How to Set and Unset
To Full Set the system, the user types their code then
presses the A key.
To Part Set the system, the user types their code then
presses the B key.
To Unset the system, the user types their code then presses
ent. Alternatively, presenting a valid tag at a prox reader
or pressing the ‘Off’ key on a wireless keyfob can also
unset the system.
How to Cancel an Alarm, Tamper or Fault
Alarms, tampers and fault conditions can be cancelled by
entering a user code at a keypad. When the code is entered,
the conditions activated will be displayed. The scroll keys
(A> and <B) can be used to view all the events. Alarm
conditions can also be cancelled by pressing the ‘Off’
button on a wireless keyfob or by presenting a valid tag at
a proximity reader. However, a code may need to be
entered at a keypad in order to see and restore the alarms.
How to Restore an Alarm
Alarms, tampers and fault conditions will be restored
provided:
• The cause has cleared and
• A user with sufficient authority has viewed the condition
on a keypad (any user if technistore).
To reset a Grade 3 compliant system, check first that the
condition itself has actually cleared. Then, from the
banner, type in a valid code and view the condition. Press
esc to finish. This order of events must be followed to
comply with EN50131.
If a user is unable to restore an alarm, then a manager or
engineer will have to be called, according to the indication
given on the keypad.
Code Tampers
When enabled (see menu option 51.62 = Lockout), this
parameter controls two things: keypad lockout and system
tamper.
Keypad lockout occurs if a pre-programmed number of
invalid codes (1-10, default 6) are entered. The lockout
lasts for 90 seconds. Each subsequent invalid attempt
causes a further 90 second lockout to occur.
System tamper occurs when a pre-programmed number
of invalid codes (1-21, default 15) are entered.
Note: The above lockouts also apply to invalid prox
tags presented to prox readers, as well as codes.
Groups
The Galaxy Dimension has the ability to be split into areas
or subsystems called Groups. The number of groups is
dependent on panel variant. Each zone can be assigned to
one group. Users can be assigned to one or many groups.
To enable group mode, turn it on in menu option
63.1.1=Group Mode.
Groups can be assigned to individual users in menu option
42.1.6.=Modify Groups. This allows users the choice of
which groups to set and unset.
Menu Summary
All the functions of the panel are accessible via the menu.
The top level of the menu is summarised below:
10 = Setting 20 = Display 30 = Test
11 = Omit Zones 21 = Zone Status 31 = Walk Test
12 = Timed Set 22 = Display Log 32 = Output Test
13 = Part Set 23 = System Version
14 = Forced Set 24 = Print
15 = Chime 25 = Access Doors
16 = Instant Set
17 = Silent Part
18 = Home Set
19 = All Set
40 = Modify 50 = Engineer 1 60 = Engineer 2
41 = Time/Date 51 = Parameters 61 = Diagnostics
42 = Codes 52 = Program Zones 62 = Full Test
43 = Summer 53 = Program Outputs 63 = Options
44 = Trace 54 = Links 64 = Assemble Zone
45 = Timer Control 55 = Soak 65 = Timers
46 = Group Omit 56 = Communication 66 = Pre-Check

48 = Access Auth. 58 = Keypad 68 = Menu Access
59 = Quick Menu 69 = Access Control
70 = Engineer 3
71 = Program Key
Each of these headings has its own sub options that can be
accessed using the ent, esc and scroll keys.
The most important menu options are summarised below:
System Programming
63=Options
Start with this menu to select Group mode. Group mode
needs to be turned on if the system is to be split into
independent groups.
NOTE: In the UK, on DD243 compliant systems, a user
code cannot normally be used to unset the system. A
prox tag must be used. A code can only be used after an
alarm condition has occurred. This can be altered in
menu 51-54=Keypad Access
